Hannah Ault, sales and marketing director, said: “It’s been great start the year with Rob’s amazing collection of work.

“We are a big fan and it’s great to see how our clay can be moulded into something so impressive.

“We hope that visitors and collectors will be able to enjoy Rob’s sometimes-witty observations which are subtle yet poignant, leaving viewers with a familiar narrative reminiscent of situations and circumstances of the everyday.

“We are also excited for the next 12 months and the amazing ceramics that will be showcased from artists throughout the UK as well as locally helping to put Stoke-on-Trent on the map as one that is focused on promoting ceramic and our city of culture.”
